Songtext Century The Mary Onettes

Century

I'm waiting, I'm waiting.

For the longest day to come.

And there's nothing but waiting.

Cause I know this time things won't be the way I planned.

Like someone who's aiming.

For the days that never come.

I'm like someone who never shines at all,

but our love is slowly making me recall the years.



So what's in your heart.

When you talk about the days when you were young.

Now who will lead us in this cold century.
What's in your heart.

When you talk about the days when you felt hunger.

Who will lead us in this cold century.



We're all that you're leaving.

But you'll stay for good inside the walls.

And forever I'm waiting.

To begin the hardest day, the hardest day of all.

And there's gotta be something better.

We might have it but all the waiting seems to take it away.

And I'll be something better.

Cause I intend to be like you,

I really hope, I do.



So what's in your heart.

When you talk about the days when you were young.

Now who will lead us in this cold century.

What's in your heart.

When you talk about the days when you felt hunger.

Who will lead us in this cold century.



Promise that you'll wait for me and I shouldn't hide the tears.

Gathering those memories is all that I can do for you.

I have never been good at holding back.

I have never been good at holding back.
